DESCRIPTION
Store persistent data in a MySQL database while maintaining a stateful
session using web browser cookies.
PREREQUISITES
This package is part of a larger distribution and was NOT intended to be
used directly. In order for this plugin to work properly, the following
packages must be installed:
Apache2::WebApp
Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::Cookie
Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::DBI
Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::Session
Params::Validate
INSTALLATION
From source:
$ tar xfz Apache2-WebApp-Plugin-Session-MySQL-0.X.X.tar.gz
$ perl MakeFile.PL PREFIX=~/path/to/custom/dir LIB=~/path/to/custom/lib
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
Perl one liner using CPAN.pm:
$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::Session::MySQL'
Use of CPAN.pm in interactive mode:
$> perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::Session::MySQL
cpan> quit
Just like the manual installation of Perl modules, the user may need
root access during this process to insure write permission is allowed
within the installation directory.
REQUIREMENTS
The database table to store session information is auto-generated. Since
this is the case, the MySQL users must have CREATE privileges.
In case you want to manually create this table, you can run the
following SQL statement on the MySQL command-line:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sessions (
id char(32) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
a_session text;
CONFIGURATION
Unless it already exists, add the following to your projects
*webapp.conf*
[session]
storage_type = mysql
expires = 1h
OBJECT METHODS
Please refer to Apache2::WebApp::Session for method info.
